It has happened to each of us too many times when preparing tea that we did not plan it properly. The industrial designer Lennart Rieper got tired of the same problems, so he made a smart watch for making tea, the Tealightful Timer. The smartwatch is currently fighting for its breakthrough on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform.
Wearable devices
The biggest hit of this year's CES in the field of wearable technology is the smart watch, which was jointly prepared by LG and Audi. Although it is only a prototype that does not even have a name, it gives us a concrete insight into LG's future in the field of wearable technology. The watch does not have Google's Android Wear operating system, designed for wearable devices, but rather LG's in-house Open webOS platform, which has been reaping success in the field of smart TVs for some time.
CES 2015 has many trendsetters in technology, and the Withings Activité Pop watch is certainly one of them. Although they are found under the label of smart watch, they are actually classic watches - with hands and a dial - and the functionality of smart watches is added to them by a smart bracelet that monitors daily activities (walking, running, swimming), sleep, and serves as a silent alarm using vibrations ,...
Sony's FES smartwatch was being developed in secret, or rather, under the "pseudonym" of Fashion Entertainments, as they didn't want to sign their name to a potentially unsuccessful product. So they financed it right through the Makauke platform (Japanese Kickstarter), by which they sensed the market situation and the time, and more than 20 thousand euros collected, showed that a watch with an e-ink screen is worth making and Sony's name.
Our everyday life is literally intertwined with wires and lightning-fast devices and processors, so it is appropriate to ask ourselves what would happen if our favorite devices came to life and killed us? Now you must think that we have swam into the waters of science fiction conspiracies, but do you really never panic when the "off" button on an electric mixer does not respond immediately? Here are seven devices that would be fatal if they ever came to life. Ah, that metal jungle.
Before Windows 10 came out, many people had hiccups with the 8 after the 7, but who would have thought that anyone still misses Windows 95. Although the 16-year-old was not even born when this version was created, that did not stop him, not to try to load a museum version of Windows on the latest cry of technology, a smart watch, specifically Samsung's Gear Live watch.
Although the Apple Watch is not yet available, the DODOcase desktop charger/stand is already waiting for it, because you can't just leave such a watch on the nightstand. At the same time, it must be "winded" much more often than ordinary watches. The Apple Watch operates according to the principle of smartphones, so it needs to be charged, but not to change the button batteries, let alone to wind it.
Although we are used to Garmin being "carried" by cars and mobile devices, GPS watches have already made their way around our wrists. With the Vivosmart, it is now consolidating this position, with which it not only draws data from satellites, but also from humans, as it is a touch-sensitive smart bracelet that records physical activity and smartphone activity, while also being a personal motivator.
Remember when we teased you with the iWatch concept half a year ago. Well, the wait for this Apple smartwatch is over. Namely, the iWatch saw its official release day (September 9), which coincides with the arrival of the "messiah" of smartphones, the iPhone 6. It's about time, isn't it!
We all know what time it is when a market situation occurs. In today's times, there is ruthless competition everywhere, so you have to stand out in order to survive. The Ritot smartwatch is a projection of this mentality. Literally. It is a watch that does not display data on the screen as we are used to (if we can even talk about being used to smart watches), because it does not have one at all, but just projects the information onto our hand.
Android smartwatches like Moto 360 and LG G Watch have been launched recently. These are the first models that aspire to the shape of a classic men's watch and don't look like little phones on your wrist. The team of the German company Curved presented a very attractive concept of a classic men's watch with a smart interface, on behalf of the luxury company Rolex.
Google has officially stepped into the world of smartwatches by introducing Android Wear, an operating system designed for wearable devices. Initially, the system will be available to manufacturers of smart watches, but we can conclude that Google wants primacy in this field, as evidenced by all its projects in the field of wearable technology.
